romney loses month, both move to swing states. talk to us about this, congressman? >> it is what we have been saying. if romney heals himself, and he went a long way in doing, it will affect the national picture and all the states will go in line with that. he has done that. here is the thing. we have 30 days left. the mitt romney we saw on wednesday night, we have to see it again and again and again. and his campaign, greg, needs to make us see him. we are a little stressed in analyzing this race that since thursday morning they are not capitalizing well enough. their tv ads are not running clips from the debate highlighting the great performance. it is not on the ads. >> it has changed a little bit. i want to ask you about the performants because people say well, that was not really president obama, he was off the game. if you actually watch president obama without a teleprompter in news conferences, he fumbles, stumbles and mumbles, he goes on and on like a recovery and he never answered the question. >> that is true. he did not draw a clear distinction between h

for mitt romney it does take away one of talking points he has been very big on, number of consecutive months that the number has been at 8% or above, that line is gone from his speech. short term positives are there for president obama but long term you look at the historical numbers in terms of unemployment in presidential reelection years and depth of the political challenges are great here. >> heather: i'll ask you more about historically in a moment but the numbers have been called into question. there is actually a huge disconnect between the modest of new jobs report and significant decrease in the unemployment rate. jack welch, he went to as far to suggest that the numbers may be manipulated by the obama administration. do you think that the numbers add up? >> i think the suggestion that the numbers was cooked is relatively ridiculous. that being said. economists at the labor department will admit freely that there is a lot of margin of error in these numbers. a month after each job report these numbers are revised upward or downward. the question of the number came out of the

romney has. >> but when you talk to top democrats, they know the president has to be careful and not necessarily be too aggressive like we saw vice president biden on thursday night because it will be a town hall format with undecided voters. it could backfire if you are too negative. there's a balancing act. meanwhile on the republican side, las you see is gov. romney has been surging in key battle ground, he was in ohio yesterday with rob portman, campaigning there. and pressroom had nor debate prep yesterday morning before holding several rallies throughout the state of ohio. one of his top advisors, ed gillespie said the president can get more aggressive, he can change his style, but he can't change his record. take a look. >> the president can change his style, he can change his tactics but he can't change his record, he can't change his polls. the fact the drop in household income has occurred under his watch we have a stagnate economy. >> so here we are with essentially a 50-50 race, pretty close to that right now. we've seen it go back and forth for so long and the reason why

i was talking about florida a moment ago and the "miami herald" poll shows romney with a seven-point lead. but in ohio, this is interesting, the president had a substantial lead there. now look at it, in the margin of error. about only line, florida, north carolina, lesser extent, virginia, are all going for governor romney. governor romney can win those states and the president will be re-elected if he holds ohio. ohio now is the key if the race freezes. >>gregg: and the real clear politics electoral map, this is what really counts you have to win the state and win the electoral votes. talk to us about this. >>pat: what is happening, look at yellow, ladies and gentleman. we see, now, that wisconsin, michigan, which everyone thought was in solid for obama is now undecided, so is pennsylvania. maine has moved to leaning. wisconsin is a battleground state. shear my theory. we are seeing faster movement in states that had no add veer tieing and have been left aside. that means the problem with ohio could be this $49 million spent by obama. and how early the obama ground organization was

what do you think governor romney did well the last time around that convinced so many folks that were maybe undecided at least from what the polling shows us initially that he's their man? >> well, i think he was assertive, and a lot of folks had wondered would he ever step out and really challenge obama? i think that was one of the real frustrations with conservatives across the country. i think he needs to continue that. you know, obviously obama will come out in this case much more forcefully and he will throw a lot of spears. i think it's very, very important that in this case, you know, romney stays focused on his vision for the country and stays focused on the things that ultimately matter the most to people in the country which is where is the economy going, where are we with jobs, and what's happening next on the debt and deficit issue. >> we got mixed signals from the obama campaign that the president intends to be more aggressive this time around. we know it's a town hall format where the candidate will be taking questions from undecided voters but also with a moderator in p
